British Archaeological Association, IPSWICH, Thursday. It had been arranged that on Wednesday an excursion should be made to Colchester, where a large party of ladies and gentlemen arrived by special train shortly after 10 o'clock. They at once proceeded to the Council Chamber, where they were received by the mayor (Major Bishop), Mr Papillon, M. P. for the borough, and several members of the corporation. After the formal reception a paper was read by the Rev. C. H. Hartshorne on the population and taxation of Colchester. Ia the year 1301 a tax of a 15th was levied on the personal property of the inhabitants, end Mr Harts horne gave soma intereeting inster cos of the value of pro p-rty possessed by the middle classes of that time—very few had money, and the value of the goods possessed by most was very small. In 1301 the number of householders was 389 now the population was 23,809; the tax of a 15th in 1301 produoed £34 12a 4d, while in 1807 the taxation of Colchester amounted to £4,758. Oa leaving the town-hall the company walked to that point in the ancient Roman walla of the town called the Balkon-hill, where there are the remains of a gateway and guardhouse, which Mr Hartshorne described as one of the too- t perfect specimens of Roman masonry in the town, and perhaps in England. After leaving the Balkon-gate they walked along the old Roman walls, which still rise many feet above the road running outside them, till the ruins of the old castle wore reached. In the room now devoted to the purposes of a library, in the keep of the castle, the Rev. C. Hartsh 'rue read a paper on the castle, in the course of which he stated that the keep was all that remained of the building, and it was formerly surrounded by a fosse, which might have been the work of the Romans or of a much later period. The tower was octagonal in shape, and was constructed of flint and Roman bricks, with facings of Caen atone. Mr Harts horne laid the date at which the castle was erected at before the year 1130, and, among other observations he made on the building and its history, said though the keep was larger than those of other Norman castles in England, it was not of so greet a height as the majority, but the vaulting was more extensive than was usually the case. A recent writer had asserted that the castle was Roman ; but there was no portion which could be attributed to an earlier period than the Norman conquest, though the materials used in its construction were partly Roman bricks, taken, no doubt, from demolished Raman works in the neighbourhood. After some conversation, all who took part in which agreed with Mr HartEthorne that the castle was Norman, the museum, containing some interketing remains, and the extensive vaults under the castle were examined. The ruins of St. Botolph's Abbey were next visited. This abbey (originally dedicated to 13t. Julien and St. Botolpb) was founded in the beginning of the 12th century by a monk named Inulph, who was the first prior. There are scarcely any remains of the abbey except those of the Abbey church, in the ruins of which the massive round Norman columns attract the attention. The west fr.aet is well known as a most beautiful specimen of Norman architecture, the ornamentation consisting chiefly of interlacing arches. The principal doorway is exceedingly handsome. Here a paper descriptive of the history of the abbey was read by Mr E. Roberts, F.S.A., who also acted as cicerone to the gateway, which is all that remains of the ancient A3bey of St Jahn, which was founded in 1095 or 1096, and finished in 1120. The gateway, however, is of a much later date, being of not very early perpendicular style. Nat far from St. John's Abbey is a plain old church dedicated to St. Giles, which contains the tomb of Sir C. Lucas and Sir George Lisle, who held Colchester Castle tor some time against the Parliamentary army under Sir Thomas Fairfax, and who, when at length the stronghold I was taken, were shot. The only other place which time would permit the party to visit was the Church of the Holy Trinity, which has a square tower, built of old Roman materials, about which there is a doubt whether it is Saxon or Norman work. The supporters of the theory that it is Saxon point to a doorway with a triangular arch in the west wall of the tower, but Mr Roberts expressed hie opinion that it was Norman nevertheless. Mr Uodwin, however, differed, and said he could see no reason why it shoula not have been built before tee Car quest, and even ually it was generally agreed that it was either Saxon or very early Norman. The corporation of Colchester had hospitably entertained the members of the association at the Town-hall, at which the mayor presided, and of which considerably more than a hundred ladies and gentlemen partook. Atter the repast he Mayor proposed the " Health of Mr George Totnline, NIT., the President of the A.scciation, with success to the British Ardreilogical Associa:ior," and he thanked them for the honuur they had done Colchester in visiting the town.

Lord Arthur Hervey, the President of the Suffolk In stitute of Arcba3ology, for the assistance and welcome he had given them. (Cheers.) Lord A. HERVEY returned thanks, and alluded to the very pleasant and interesting day they had spent in Col chester, and proposed the healths of the gentlemen who had read papers. This toast was acknowledged by Mr HA.RTSHoRNE and Mr ROBERTS, and the health of Mr Petti b rew and of the ladies having been given, the company returned to Ipswich) where a meeting wos held in the evening. . • • 1 " . . . . • 4; 4 4 71 ;4 1 %4 0 ' • A lt •r • • -r. r „.. - -N, ‘;411 1 ; cz, ti 1 Z 4411:, ,: , • , • , ,••• .14 4141111:4111b, D. 1. 1 3' 4 , •)40, 16. 01.1 ' „ Az, or ice 1 0111Gfi • NEW ITALIAN SONGS, &e., by COEN.

The Reading Meeting has been popular for a consider able period among the members of the Metropolitan Circuit, and on the present anniversary there was no diminution in the general attendance, or in the character of the sport. Several very heavy special trains were despatched from the Paddington terminus, and, owing to the cheapness of the " excursion," the carriages were completely filled. Although, perhaps, the London element preponderated, there was a large muster of the rustic population, who, as usual, entered fully into the varied entertainments brought together by the race meeting. The morning was beautifully fine, and the course was in far better condition than at any of the recent Sussex meetings, owing to the late rain and the facilities for irrigation from the Thames. The ring was completely occupied, many of the provincial bookmakers and professionals having arrived from Huntingdon and Wolverhampton. Racing commenced at half-past one, and was advertised to terminate at six o'clock, but owing to un• avoidable delays in the conduct of business, it was a quarter of an hour after that time before the last race was run off. In the opening contests Fordham's Gdodwood luck was ain in the ascendant, as he won five races in succession, inclusive of the Berkshire Stakes on Bally Edmond, that horse also being successful in the same handicap in 1861, when he was a three-yr. old. Singularly enough tour of the races won by Fordham were head victories. Riglan was backed for a deal of money at " the lists," but the " turned loose" horse was struck ont at 1.65. The subjoined return will sufficiently indicate the nature of the day's sport. The Easthampstaad Park Stakes of 5 sous each, 2ft, for three-yr-olds and upwards; winning penalties.

After a delay at the post, occasioned principally by the refractory conduct of Rest, an admirable start was made, the lot running in a line stretched across the course for halt the distance, when Rest took up the running, and with Lord of the Manor at her quarters the pair quitted their horses. Opposite the enclosure Rest appeared to have the issue in hand, but compounding at every s ride, Ford. ham succeeded in his finishing rush, and landed " the old Lord" by a short head. Vision, who passed several pulling up, was a bad third. Itumola fifth, and Regene rator last. The winner was claimed by Mr Land.

Spitfire Kitty was a bad third, Gibraltar fourth, Miss Pickle filth, and Fisherman's Daughter last. Tho Nursery Plate (Handicap) of 100 soya, for two-yr.

Wednesday's proceedings consisted of the sailing of the yachts belonging to the club, in divisions unthr flag officers, and the annual dinner at the Club-house in the evening. The dinner was a roost successful affair, upwards of 90 members and their fr ends having sat down. The toasts, after " the Queen," by the Commodore, bad "the Prince the Prin'ess of Wales and the Royal Family," by the Vice- Commodore, incl u d e d "p ros perity to the R o y a l Vi c t or i a Yacht Club," coupling with it the name of Commodore Thellusson, given by the Vice-C.mmodore, Lord Burghley. Commodore Theilusson, in responding, gave "prosperity to all other yacht clubs," coupling with it the names of Earl Vane and Mr A. Arcedeckne, the Commodore of the Royal Thames Yacht Club. "The health of the secretary of the R, V. Y C., Capt. Mackinnon," was proposed in highly complimentary terms by Earl Vane. Yesterday's programme consisted of the race for The Ladies Plate, value £5O, given by the Ladies of Ryde. Open to all yachts belonging to B. V.Y.C. Time race, half Ackers's scale.

The allowance of time was—Marina to allow Albertine 2 min 42 sec; ditto Volatile 1 min 15 sec; Volante to allow Alberiine 1 min 25 eec. Course—from Ryde pier to the Nab lightvessel, thence to the West buoy of the middle, thence in to Rydo pier ; twice round. _ . Of the nine vessels entered only three started—the Ma rina, Albertine, and Volante. The start was effected at 10 a.m., with the wind light from the N N.E., with the tide flood and th e commencement of the course to th e eastward. The Marina to o k a goo d l ea d , followed b y t h e sc h ooner, with Volante last. Th e N oman F ort stag i ng was passed by the Marina at 10h 24m 20s, the Albertine at 10h 25m 40e, and the Volante at 10h 270, 15s. In running past the Warner the Albertine and Volante luffed off, apparently playing with each other,*a circumstance the Marina took advantage of by keeping a straight course for the Nab and increasing her lead. The breeze now freshened a trifle from the N E., and th e Alb ertine and V.,lante made close after the Marina for th e N a b . The breeze again fell, and when the three vessels were about half way between the Noman and the Nab they lay near l y becalmed for some time. At 20 minutes past 11 th e V olante brought up a light bre eze from N. W. with her, and passed the Galatea, taking second place. By the aid of these light airs the Nab was at length reached, and the Volante was round first, although the Marina had been down there some minutes before her, but was jammed by the tide for want of wind. Jibing their booms over on their post quarters they rounded the light vessel as follows :—Volante, 11h 57m 40e; Galatea, 12h 2m ss; Marina, 12h 3m 18s. At 2 15 p.m. the three vessels had only reached to the westward as far as the middle of Stone's-bay (about one half the first round), the Volante being first, Galatea second, and MaTin , last—about three-quarters of a mile separating the first vessel from the last. The wind was then very light; by her nitaacrktisitth from about W.N. W. Soon afterwards the wind came in catspews from nearly every point of the compass, tea Marinh standing towards Osborne under the influence from one out of Cowes Roads, while the Volante and Albertine stood for the opposite shore.

The wind rather moderated as the Y ac hts approached Spit head from the Nab, and as the rules of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club specify that any race not completed by sun down must be considered null and void, and sailed over again another day, t h ere was a probability that the race would not be brought to a conclusion yesterday if the wind should head the yachts or tall off in strength down the west. channel. At 616 p.m. the Albertine, with a temporary jibboom rigged out and jib set, was standing down through the western end of Stokes Bay. with the Volante a short distance to windward. The race was now very close be tween the two, and it was impossible to say (making allow ante for the time to be given by the Volante to the Alber !file) which had the best of if, the cutter or the schooner. The Marina was astern far enough to be considered quite out of the race. __ _ The Albertine won the Ladies Prize by lm. 105, The Ladies' Plate is an elaborately chased silver ink stand in the Etruscan style, containing three beautiful Greek vases, beaded and wreathed with antique scrolh.

His Royal Highness gives as the reason the engagements he had previously for the month of SeptemJer, Federal Barbarities in Virginia. The following letter has been addressed by ex- Governor Letcher, of Virginia, to the Mayor of Richmond : Lexington, Va., July 5. Finding that the Yankees would take the town or, Saturday, the 11th, I left home near midnight, Friday night, and went to Big Island, in Ihdford, where I remained till Wednesday morning follow ing, when, hearing the Vandals had lett, I returned. I had previously heard that my house had been burned with all its contents. The threats made by the Yankees against me for the past two years satis fied me that they would destroy my house when they came to Lexington, but I always supposed that they would allow the furniture and my family' s clothing to be removed. In this, however, I was disappointed. When the Yankees took possession of the town, Dr. Paton, medical director for Hunter's army, and who hails from Manion county, Virginia, went to my house, told my wife he was unwell, and said he meet have a room in the house. He took the room, su pped and breakfasted, aod, when breakfast was nea rly over, remarked in a manner half jocular, half 'earnest, to Lizzie, that it was the last meal she would take in the house. Shortly after he left ' w i thou t taking leave of any of the family, nor was he again seen by any of them. The threats made by soldiers on Saturday even ing indiued my wife to fear that the house would be burned, and she expressed her fears in the hear ing of Dr. Paton and Capt. Towns, of New York. Capt. Towns very promptly said that I, being a private citizen, and the house being private pro.. party, burning it would be an inexcusable outrage, and proposed at once to go to Hunter's headquar ters and ascertain. He went, and was directed by Hunter to assure my wife that the house would not be disturbed. The sequel shows that the sole object of this assurance was to quiet her apprehensions, and thus prevent anything from being removed. About halt-past eight o'clock a.m. (Captain Berry and his provost guard rode up, and the officer called for my wife. She came to the door, when Berry informed her he was ordered by Hunter to fire the h o use. She replied there must be some mistake, and asked for the order. He said it was a verbal order. She then said to him, " Can it not be de layed until I can see General Hunter." " The order is peremptory," he replied, " and you have five minutes to leave the house." She then asked leave ro remove her mother's, sister's, her own, and her sister's clothing, which was insolently refused. Immediately thereafter camphine was poured on the parlour floor, and ignited with a match. In the meantime my daughter had gathered up an armful of clothioz, and was going oat when he discovered her, ran forward,and fired the clothing in her arms. He then poured camphine in the wardrobes, bureau drawers, and ignited the clothing—taking out my clothing, which he said he intended to take north. Every house on my lot was burned save a small granary over my icehouse. Nat a particle of flour, meat, or anything edible was left, all having b aen carried off on Saturday. My mother, now in her 78th year, lives on the lot adjoining my own, having with her one of her grandchildren and servant. After my property had been fired the fiends fired her stable, located about PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. forty feet from the house, with no other views than to burn her out also. The house caught twice and would have ben consumed but for the untiring efforts of Captain Towns, who made his men carry water and extinguish the flames. Tlie captain be haved like a gentleman towards my own and my mother's family. Generals Averill, Crook, Snllivan. and Duffle de nounced the whole proceedings as an outrage, in violation of all the principles of civilised warfare, and stated that Hunter alonn was responsible for these atrocities.—l em truly, end in baste, your friend, JOHN LETCHER. Jos. Mayo, E q., Richmond, V: l.-Index. The End of the Polish Insurrection, WARSAW, Aug. 5. The final scene of a melancholy drama was played to an end to-day. Tile last chief of the celebrated Polish National Government and four of its mem bers died this morning upon the gallows. The un fortunate victims were Romnald Trangutt, a dis charged Ru.sisn colonel ; Krsjewski, an architect ; Joseph Toczyski, a bookkeeper; Zalinski, a teacher, at the Gymnasium ; and Johann Jezioranski. a tax collector ; ail young men, none over 30 years of age. Originally 21 men and four women were sentenced to death by the military tribunals, but the Viceroy pardoned 17 of the men and all the women. It must not be imagined, however, that the objects of Count Berg's clemency have much reason to con gratulate themselves, for their sentences have been commuted partly into many years of labour in the Siberian mines, partly to shorter periods of confine molt in fortresses in the same bleak and inhospit able country. The official Dzienna, of yesterday gives a detailed account of the whole prosecution, and furnishes many interesting particulars of the manner in which the insurrec•ionary government was carried on. The following are extracts ; " Owing to the discoveries made by the Military Investiaation Committee, and the increased activity of the Warsaw polce, numbers of persons concerned in the revolutionary organisation were arrested at the beginning of the year, and an extensive revolu tionary correspondence was seized. Upon inspec tion of the documents and examination of the pri soners further arrests were undertaken, which, com bined with information already obtained, rendered it possible to gain possession of the chiefs of the insurrection. The investigation which then took place brought to light the main details of the orga nisation, and the action of the secret society, or, so-called, National Government, standing at the head of the movement. " The National Government operated by means of a special central organisation in Warsaw, and of local administrations in the eight woywodeships into which the rebels had divided the kingdom of Poland. Up to October 10, 1863, the Government was composed only of a small council, the composi tion and arrangement of which was veiled in the deepest mystery. After that date an entire change took place, one chief being recognised as the imme diate and independent leader of the entire revolu tion. This chief was the discharged Lieutenant. Co:onel Romaald Trangutt, formerly leader of an insurgent corps in Lithuania. After the dispersion of his followers he fiA to Cracow, whence he went to Warsaw, ostensiby as a traveller for a mercantile firm, under the assumed name of Michael Cz trneche. " The 'Warsaw central organisation, as chief organ of the revolutionary Government, was corn posed of six departments, under different heads— Interior, War, Treasury, Foreign Affairs, Public Press, and Pollee. In addition to its chief, each department had a certain number of subordinate officials and a secretary. Following out the prin ciple adopted in the entire organisation, the mem bers of which each department was composed were unknown to its chief, and of the chiefs themselves most were strangers to one another. The local administrations in the woywodeships, whose mem bers were known through the various decrees dis tributed among the people, consisted-1, of coos miesioners possessing certain powers ; 2, of the civil chiefs of the woywodeships ; 3, chiefs of circles, towns, and communes," &c. Tne Dziennik then gives in some detail a resume of the operations of the National Government to the 10th of October, 1863, the date of Trangutt assuming tha chief direction of af f airs, and can tin ues " From this period several heads of departments into personal communication with Trangutt, whom they visited at his lodgings in the house of Helene Ktrkow, in Smoln..-street. Trangutt also fre quently went to the officials to make arrangements with them. These meetings of the chiefs ceased in January, 1864, after the capture of various mem bers. Thenceforth the communication between the different diplomatists was carried on through female agents. " The investigation proved that, besides Tran gatt, the chief personages of the revolutionary organisation were the following :---1. Secretary of State, the architect Janowski. 2. The heads of departments--Interior, R. Krgjewski, noble, aged 29; his secretaries, T. Burzynski and G. Paprocki; Treasury, Joseph Toezyski, a bookkeeper, formerly banished, aged 37, his secretaries, Iluaiki, a noble, aged 50, and Summeki, noble, aged 19 ; War, Galp zowski, falsely called Golkowicz, Russian, a mili tary man ; Foreign Affairs, Danagowski, pastor of St. John's Church; his secretary, Wolynski, also a clergyman ; Public Press, Waclaw Pry bylski, for merly teacher at the Wologodzi Gymnasium ; his secretary, Boguslawski, a noble, aged 25; Police, P►okowski, teacher at the Gymnasium; Wazkowski, town captain, the son of a Warsaw citizen, 3. The head of the publication department, Baron Zalinski ; his secretaries and assistants, A. Krzeki, a noble, aged 25; R. Frankoweki, student at the Warsaw High School, a noble, aged 24; E. Trvebsecki, a noble, aged 25; C. Hants, of Warsaw, aged 20. 4. The Commissioner of Ways and Reads, J. Jezior anski, a noble, aged 30. 5. M. Dobiecki, a noble, aged 26, teacher at the 3d District School in War saw. These persons, with several culpable in a less degree, had incurred the penalty of death, but his Excellency confirmed the sentence to that effect passed by the court-martial only in the cases of the condemned men Trangutt, Krajewski, Toczyski, Zalinski, and Jezioranski. The sentences of the other prisoners were commuted by his Excellency, by virtue of the authority placed in his hands, in limiki's case to 15 years' hard labour in the mines, Dyborcki to 12 years, and eight of the others to 10 years' confinement in Siberian fortresses, each pri. Boner incurring the loss of all civil rights. "The court-martial also found Johann Maklano. wiez, Helena Kirkow, the sisters Emilia and Bar bara Gazawska, and Anna Wrobleweka, guilty of having illegally aided and abetted the rebels. For this offence Madame Kirkow Mecklanowiez, and the aizawskas were condemned to loss of civil rights and bard labour in the factories, the former for eight years, the others fur six. Anna Wrobtewska, also losing her civil rights, was sentenced to trans portation to Siberia. The present and future pro perty of the criminals wa© also confiscated to the use of the State." The five persons condemned to death were exe cuted upon the glacis of the fortress this naming, although a Firtion was hoped for to th© East mo . meat. They stepped upon the scaffold firmly, and underwent their fate with perfect resignation and composure, in presence of au immense crowd of ex cited spectators. Thus perished the latest victims of the ill-judged and ill-fated Polish rising of 1863. PRINCE NAPOLEON IN INVERNESS.-0a Monday evening Prince Napoleon, the Princess Murat, Count Ferra Pisani, and other members of the Prince's suite, arrived in Inverness by train from the South, and took up their abode in the Caledonian Hotel. After visiting the various oljects of interest in the town and neighbour hood, the parry proceeded to Oban by the Caledonian Canal. --SeAstnunt VglP-T.FIT,P., :-.--..,-..;..

I must say for myself that I have lt,een all my life reading Bacon and " Butler's Analcgy," Whewell and Mill, deduction and induction; dreary Hunter orations by the dezn, medical lec:ty:-es like lures in Ombrosa for wurthlessnees or number; dry p!r,ti!udes cleat: Oxlord of Sir Wiaiam Hamilton ; uniAlr[nly bombast as to Ecit,nce by (3, l .!yi e ; " Ve,riges of Creition," plagiarined, polishal quackeries as to ilevelcpthent, a brilliant castle of c'irds tumbled long ego, and leaving no vestiges Ail tbcso Lnd many more, but I never got the true co-ordinating secr:q of wbat is or ougnt to be `inductive" reasoning and what " deductive" tilt 1 had read Prince A,lrt's op,eches, t , apeci3lly the one at Abtrcleen. Mat wonderful speech, though obviously written or spoken at the British As sociation tinder the inspiration of Liebig, is per haps the most perfect thing of iis kind in the English language. Ti,c,e speeches and these books of science are to young men like what a jour.. ney right through the tangle and thicket of Aus tralia might be to a sac of explorers without a key or map, or a ship at sea in a storm that had lost all sight of stars or sky and also its COMpass—mystifi cation, distraction and bother e?erywhere ; made more mystical by half-informed critics in so called weekly science or other newspapers. Such were , when the the books, lectures, platitudes, b om b ast Prince, with masterly power, g ave the k ey to the whole chaos. Or it was like that dreadful noise at the Opera, when the trombones, fiddles, clarionets, piano, and fifes are tuning without end, but at length comes the co-ordinating key or solemn Wail of the overture, mayhap to " Fidelio." But what would three hours of discordant tuning be compared to that opera itselt? Such are too many of tl.e science books even now—discord, claptrap, atheis'.n, one-sided crotchets or law on induction, for wll‘ch Whewell and Herschel are the representative men; great and grand laws of social economy or induce tion that nobody believe now, though they were bard nuts to crack at college once on a time. We now have "Darwin on Species" every day mis quoted ; the gorilla question and the laippocamptui about as much settled as we settled Denmark and the Duchies ; toe old orchestra tuning still always going on—our friend CJ.rdinal Wiseman first fiddle. The Times review writers who never spell " diocese" or " chemistry" or half a dozen other words right at the kettle-drums—Armstrong guns theono great particular science for them (not a science at all) — men mistaking Bu! wer Lytton for Ciaries o . 3lrilley and denouncing Zmcni, and chloro:orm, and mesmerism as they would Toryism. The great family of the Podsnaps, the higher polite people of this kind of inductive science, are in said woe at the poor, much-to-be-pitied inoffen sive people in the parks who sleep co the grass. But political economy explains how it is so. We treat the poor by rigid, cast-iron statistics as mere stocks or stones. If it can be shown by Mr. Gladstone's inductions that each unit of the population consumes more claret and cigars this year than last ; that the tonnage of export trade (the standing joke in Ire land or Scotland) also in some decimal or logarithm bigger —no matter that the tonnage is for emigrant ships, or poor Podge or Smith in the park never touch cigars or claret, high-priced tobaccos, or hair powder for servants—the induction of Bacon or Whewell, the s tatisiical fact of improvement remains. But Prince Albert showed that induattive philosophy is not at all adapted to such social or physiological science; that as now talked '‘n the schools Bacon is a nricvure ; that such sci ezce is the key of mere physical discovery—it will do for chemical analysis or calculation c f an brit not in calculating social, medical, biological, cr such problems; that hasty generalisation or itiductfon is the bane of all our smaller every-day philo sophies, and that what is eminently the key of biological, medical, poor-law socal, life insursnae, or such problems, is the deductive method, or co co paring one group of facts with another group. 2'..re the poor better off because cotton is less abuna dant, because railways in London are knoclaing down their poor habitations by hundreds, emigrant ships crowded, families broken up, or because coroners' inquests mike money for coroners in Bethnal-green ; and " fashion," with the flimsiness of a moth flying at a candle, runs after Paris silks rather than Spitalfields goods ? Dundrearyism and fashion in excelsis, with Parliamentary loge. rithms and decimals, and the old tuning of our orchestra that " passeth all understanding," till one begins to detest the word science. Prince Albert and men like Victor Hugo evidently do not look on the poor as sticks or stocks, to be treated by the inductive science; or that excellent American who gave half a million to the London poor. As to what effect " fashion" may have, I have been told by several wholesale merchants in that tine, that Spitalfields silks are all the rage as tho best in Paris shops, but would not be looked at in the shops of Regent-street ; but that actually it is common to make silks of the very best kind at Bethnal-green or Spitalfiolds, send them to Paris, and bring them back to Regent -street or Oxford. street with the Paris mark en them, when Duna drearyism and fashion will go into hysterics over them. This thing has ruined all the trade in all the chief towns of Ireland. Take one, Limerick or Cork, known for brushes, gloves, &c. rho very best in the world are made in these two towns, but they must be sent to Paris, and come back to Dublin or London, like the Spitalfields silks. The deductive logic looks into these things, reasons on them, know ing that in such butterfly flights of fashion, shifting as the wind, the people are thrown out of employ ment ; but the logarithms of induction say it is all right, as the tonnage of emigration is increased. So induction says a man dies of chloroform by diseased heart; deduction says it is exactly the opposite, and says so correctly. Induction tells such a man's life ought not to be insured for his family ; deduction shows such an induction is ab solute trash, and so on. Induction is most excellent for eclipse calculations, though Bacon does not know it, and does not use the word at all as usually copied from one silly book to another. By induc tion, as Emerson well puts it, one man in ten thousand ought to marry his grandmother or eat old shoes because some units of the population at Colney Hatch do so. But, finally, what I hold i s this, that up to the time of the late ,amented Prince Consort's speech at Aberdeen, and a speech by Liebig, this distracted, eternal dull tuning of the orchestra of English science went on, leaving our schools, like Eton, Rugby, Harrow, the deri. sion of Europe; French and German science tra vestied ; Bacon a sort of wooden saint, worshipped and even now never read or quoted, except as ladies for fashion quote Balm or purchase French silks. O'CONNELL'S EFFIGY BURNED IN BELFAST. On Monday night the effigy of Daniel O'Connell was burned on the Boyne Bridge —the name given to the new railway bridge, by the Sandy. row men. There were certainly upwards of 40,000 persons present, and every in dignity was wreaked on the effigy of the man whose memory was commemorated in quite another way in Dublin on Monday. The burning mass was elevated on the bridqe while the train convoying the excursionists from Dublin passed under it. The vast crowd separated peaceably im mediately after. A number of the county and local consta bulary were present, under Find Constable Rankin and. Chief Constable M.‘liit trick.
